Last night's finds

Besides a ton of chanterelles, we found a few other mushrooms that I'm fairly certain about. The first I believe to be Turkey tail (from a dead tree in I think a mixed woods-oak, hemlock, etc.). They have kind of fuzzy tops and white undersides with small pores. The second I believe to be hedgehogs-they were all growing around the base of an oak in some moss, and have teeth instead of gills. The third was found near white pine, and it looks like a slippery jack or some related suillus, with a slimy cap and porous underside.

Thanks for your help!

The mushrooms with spines (teeth) comprising the hymenium (fertile under-surfaces) are Hedgehogs (Hydnum species). 

I agree the polypores are Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), although the photos do not resolve well enough for me to see the tiny pores. 

The third (mushroom with pores) is Suillus granulatus, in the sense of the use of this species name in NA. The real S. granulatus is a European species. Recently, the name Suillus weaverae was proposed for the NA granulatus. However, there is reason to doubt the application of this species name, as it was pretty clearly intended for a type of mushroom other than the NA granulatus. These details are purely academic. Current NA filed guides probably all use the name "Suillus granulatus" for this ringless type with tiny glands/dots on the stalk and a tacky pinkish to grayish cap that most often associates with white pine.

Okay, nice shot of the hymenium. Definitely a species of Trametes. Very likely T. versicolor. There are a few Trametes species that can occur with the zoned-colored caps. But the ones seen here appear to be rather thin-fleshed, which supports the T. versicolor ID. The small roundish pores look like T. versicolor.
